Salina Library will be hosting an art reception for photographer Paul Pearce from 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Proof Through the Night is a retrospective of traditional silver-based photography and lithographs.
Pearce, a certified disabled combat veteran, was drafted into the Army, commissioned as an artillery Lieutenant and ordered into combat in Vietnam as a forward observer with the 114th infantry. He now declares himself to be a “backward observer”. His photography focuses on issues of war and morality and questions the very notion of civilization. Many of his photographs will be on display at the library for the month of December.
